Product details
Overview
TLV1861QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanopower open-drain comparator with single-channel configuration, 440 nA supply current, 1.8 V to 40 V supply range, and over-the-rail input capability up to 40 V above V−. It delivers fail-safe operation during unpowered conditions and is used in battery monitoring and voltage supervision circuits within always-on automotive subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TLV1861QDBVRQ1 pinout, TLV1861QDBVRQ1 application, or TLV1861QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (–40°C to 125°C), reverse-battery protection, power-on-reset behavior, and open-drain output enabling level translation across disparate voltage domains.
Technical Context
The TLV1861QDBVRQ1 implements a fail-safe input stage with ESD clamps referenced to V−, allowing inputs to operate up to 40 V above V− independent of V+. Its internal power-on reset circuit holds the output in a known state until supply voltage exceeds 1.5 V, preventing false triggering during power ramp-up or brownout.
As an open-drain device, it sinks current only and requires an external pull-up for logic-high assertion; output leakage is 0.3 pA at 0.1 V overdrive, and VOL is 1 mV at 2 µA sink current. Input offset voltage is ±0.25 mV (typ), with hysteresis of 2.8 mV (typ) and drift of 3 µV/°C.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fail-safe inputs | Inputs remain high-impedance and functional even with V+ = 0 V, enabling robust pre-power-up sensing |
| Reverse battery protection | Withstands –40 V on supply pins - eliminates need for external series diode in battery-connected designs |
| Power-on reset (POR) | Guarantees known output state until VS > 1.5 V - prevents spurious wake-up or latch-up during startup |
| No phase reversal | Maintains correct output polarity even when inputs exceed common-mode limits - critical for fault-tolerant monitoring |
| Over-the-rail inputs | IN+ and IN− operate up to 40 V above V− independent of V+ - simplifies high-side sensing in 12 V/24 V systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nanopower open-drain comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1861QDRQ1 | SOP-5 package (3.91 mm × 4.90 mm); 121.6°C/W θJA vs. 168.1°C/W for SOT-23 | Higher thermal mass; better suited for higher ambient or sustained output loading | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal performance outweighs size constraints |
| LM7321QMA/NOPB | Rail-to-rail input/output op-amp (not comparator); 1.2 mA IQ; no built-in hysteresis or POR | Requires external hysteresis network and power-good circuitry for comparator use | Only viable if existing design already uses op-amp-based comparators and can accommodate higher IQ and added components |
Compared with TLV1861QDRQ1, the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 offers superior board-space efficiency and lower thermal resistance per unit volume, while LM7321QMA/NOPB introduces design complexity and power penalty for equivalent functionality - making TLV1861QDBVRQ1 the optimal choice for space-constrained, ultra-low-power automotive supervision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 can tolerate relative to V−?
The TLV1861QDBVRQ1 supports an input common-mode voltage range from 0 V to 40 V above V−, independent of V+ supply voltage. This over-the-rail capability allows direct sensing of high-side signals - such as battery voltage in a 24 V system - without external level-shifting circuitry. Absolute maximum rating is 42 V above V−, but recommended operating limit is 40 V.
Does the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 require an external pull-up resistor on its output?
Yes, the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 has an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor to define the logic-high state. TI recommends limiting pull-up current to <100 µA to optimize VOL; typical values range from 10 kΩ (for 3.3 V pull-up) to 1 MΩ (for 40 V pull-up). The resistor value affects rise time and power consumption - lower resistance improves speed but increases static current.
How does the power-on reset (POR) function in the TLV1861QDBVRQ1?
The TLV1861QDBVRQ1 incorporates an internal POR circuit that holds the output in a known state (high-impedance for open-drain) until the supply voltage V+ exceeds 1.5 V. This prevents false outputs during power-up, brownout, or battery recovery events. Once VS > VPOR, the comparator begins normal operation with defined output behavior based on input differential voltage.
Can the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 operate with V+ disconnected or at 0 V?
Yes - the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 features fail-safe inputs that remain high-impedance and functional even when V+ is unpowered or below 1.5 V. Inputs tolerate voltages from –0.1 V to 40 V above V−, enabling pre-power-up monitoring (e.g., battery presence detection before system boot). However, output functionality requires V+ ≥ 1.5 V for POR release and active operation.
Is the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the TLV186x-Q1 family?
Yes - the TLV1861QDBVRQ1 (SOT-23-5) shares identical pinout and function mapping with TLV1851QDBVRQ1 (push-pull variant), enabling layout reuse where output topology permits. Dual- and quad-channel variants (e.g., TLV1862-Q1, TLV1864-Q1) use different packages and pin counts and are not pin-compatible.
